The last episode of Medalist saw Inori continue her rigorous ice-skating training under Tsukasa, facing challenges with muscle use but making gradual progress. Tsukasa encouraged her to participate in the Beginner Badge Test as well.

At the venue, Inori met a girl named Hikaru, forming a quick friendship. A male skater mocked Inori, but Hikaru defended her. Despite feeling nervous, Inori performed well and earned the Beginner Badge. However, her mother restricted her skating to middle school.
